When the National Honor Society was founded in 1921, the hope of NASSP was to create an organization that would recognize and encourage academic achievement while also developing other characteristics essentials to citizens in a democracy. These ideals of scholarship, character, service and leadership remain as relevant today as they were in 1921. Now, more than 80 years later, the National Honor Society has become a prestigious organization, ranking high among administrators, faculty members, students, parents and residents of the school community. It's reputation for excellence is the result of years of commitment on the part of everyone involved. Through NHS chapter service activities, member maintain and extend the qualities that won them selection. Membership is thus both an honor and a commitment.
